Magma in the mantle rises through the crust because pressure builds up in the mantle and forces the magma to go up through the crust above, or because the pressure in the mantle pushes the magma upwards through the crust.

Since magma is hot, it is usually less dense that the surrounding matter, so it rises.

Magma in the mantle rises through the crust because pressure is always wanted to be released and when there is a weak spot in the crust magma automatically rushes to the surface.

Why does magma rise to the crust above it?

Magma rises through the crust above it because of pressure and depending on the magma (Pahoehoe or Aa). Pahoehoe is thin and runny and pours outside of the crust but, Aa is think and chunky and it can not pour out of a crack in the crust. It is more likely to blow out.


Is magma released from volcanoes material from the core?

No, magma is not material from the core of the Earth. Magma is molten rock that is generated in the Earth's mantle, which lies between the core and the crust. Magma can rise to the surface during volcanic eruptions, forming lava flows or erupting explosively.
